US STOCKS SNAPSHOT-US stock index futures extend gains after May nonfarm payrolls data
Jun 6, 2025 6:02 AM

June 6 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures extended

gains on Friday after a stronger-than-expected jobs report

calmed worries over the health of the labor market in the wake

of President Donald Trump's tariff war.

A Labor Department report showed nonfarm payrolls increased

139,000 in May, compared with estimates for a rise of 130,000,

according to economists polled by Reuters.

The unemployment rate stood at 4.2%, in-line with a forecast

of 4.2%.

At 08:30 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 232 points,

or 0.57%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 36.25 points, or

0.63%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 142.75 points, or

0.66%
